I had period like pain for 4 days before DD1 was born, however, I did give birth 24 hours after lossing my plug.

Keep an eye on the pains , have a bath/shower, call midwives if you have any questions, get someone home to be with you, make sure you bag is finalised, call friends and have a chat. When I go into pre-labour I do heaps of hosue work!!! (Actually I did not have pre-labour with number 2 and I only got 2 loads of washing folded before going to hospital).

Finally, ALL THE BEST.....
